Military

"I attempted to enroll in college courses a few times previous to this one, and every time there was something in the way, some obstacle or some friction that either terminated the attempt, or caused me to lose my resolve and give up in frustration. Trevecca, and their participation in the Yellow Ribbon Program at the highest level, gave me the courage to continue and the belief that this could be possible. I can now say I’m a college student, thanks to Trevecca!"

— J.L. Barber, Army Veteran & Treveccan Online student
